"Wow, the moon is so round tonight!"

In fact, because the Cloud Country is located at a high altitude, the moon is almost always full every day. Occasionally, it is a little incomplete, which becomes a waning moon in words, but when viewed from the ground, the incomplete moon is no different from a full moon. Sometimes, we regard things that we cannot see as beautiful.

Xia Xiao's exaggerated movements made Azhu look disdainful. Whenever she made that movement, Xia Xiao would pounce on her, hold her in her arms, and tickle her.

In this valley jungle, it is not surprising to see thorns occasionally, because there are several thorns not far away. But it is a bit strange to hear a woman's laughter like a silver bell in the middle of the night. Fortunately, there is no one here, and it is still four or five kilometers away from the town. For the Yun people who don't like to go out, this distance is safe enough, so Xia Xiao and Azhu can play fearlessly.

After the noise was over, Xia Xiao hugged Azhu and jumped to the top of a towering tree.

Under the starry night sky, the two were in darkness. The small town not far away had no lights because it was late at night. Xia Xiao wrapped his arms around Ah Zhu's waist, like a couple of gods, looking at the bright moon and the Milky Way above their heads. One light and one dark, that's the world.

"Will there be any results tonight?"

Ah Zhu asked and added:

"It doesn't matter if there is no result. I can always be with you."

"I'm afraid there really is no result. I estimate it will take another week, or even longer."

"Go ahead. I'll stay with you."

Ah Zhu didn't bother to argue with Xia Xiao, turned around and jumped onto the next branch, raised his chin and looked at him. The advantage of having vitality and becoming a practitioner is that you can keep your eyes clear at night. When Xia Xiao saw Ah Zhu's smile, he was immediately full of energy. Just like what Huo Dou taught him, it's okay to be drowsy appropriately, and he still has to continue exploring.

Before reaching the top of the mountain or the top of the clouds, Xia Xiao did not dare to neglect it. He made a seal and raised his head. He was still sore in his neck, but he raised his head again and prepared for a long fight, looking at the bright moon tirelessly.

The word "moon" has been mentioned since ancient times.

People have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes. The ancients said that it is both joy and sadness. When they are happy, they sit under the moon, talking about everything, or exchanging their enlightenment, pouring a few glasses of wine, and laughing about their childhood memories. When they are sad, they drink and talk about the past, recalling a person or a scene, and then they are silent for a long time. But there is no one to accompany them, so they can only invite the moon and the shadow to make three people.

Speaking of the moon, Xia Xiao was most impressed by Chang'e and the Jade Rabbit. He knew that there was no Guanghan Palace on the moon, nor were there such elegant and charming fairies, nor did the clever and mischievous Jade Rabbit exist. He never wanted Chang'e to watch the world here in that deserted palace, nor did he want the Jade Rabbit to pound medicine day and night. He only hoped that there was really a woman on the moon, who had been imprisoned for tens of thousands of years, and now looked at him with red eyes. Although it lacked some beauty, it was enough to excite him.

The urgent hope has not been realized for a long time, but Xia Xiaoru, like Wu Gang cutting down the cassia tree, is always doing one thing.

There are many versions of the story in Xia Xiao's memory. Some say that Wu Gang was punished by having the tree cut down because he was not focused on learning. When the osmanthus tree fell, he would obtain the immortal art. Some books also say that Wu Gang was originally from the Nantianmen, but he left his post without permission and secretly met Chang'e, so he was sent by the emperor to cut down the moon tree that would never be damaged. The most ridiculous thing is that Wu Gang knew that there were no osmanthus trees in the world, so he brought their seeds to the world and brewed fine wine.

The story is changing, the people are changing, but the image of Wu Gang that never changes in Xia Xiao's mind is the image of him chopping down trees. The man as burly as an iron tower, bare-chested, swinging a sharp axe, chopping down the icy trees covered with rime. This process is repeated over and over, just as he is constantly using his vitality to enter his eyes.

After using the Jian family's astronomical telescope, you will know the inconvenience of the naked eye, and the fatigue of the body will be doubled. But Xia Xiao can't get such a big guy now, so he can only use the most primitive method.

The wind blew, and the leaves rustled. Ah Zhu was like a little owl at night, sneezing and looking around, fearing that someone would sneak up on them and plot against them. After all, the entire Yun Kingdom was their enemy, so it was normal for Ah Zhu to be afraid, but Xia Xiao did not feel guilty, he devoted himself to her, just like kissing her at other times, he would greedily immerse himself in her, smelling the sweet smell on her body.

"ah--"

Ah Zhu stretched out her arms and entered the second state of the day, and began to feel sleepy. Starting from watching the moon at midnight, Ah Zhu had three states. At first, she was very awake and could think about things while being alert, such as what she would eat after leaving Yun Country.

Fantasy can often bring a kind of appeal that reality does not have. Whenever Ah Zhu thinks of the crispy fish and tender meat on the inside, he starts to drool.

Sometimes Ah Zhu would miss her grandma, and would doze off while thinking about her. At this time, she would enter a very magical state. Sometimes she felt that she was still in the academy and on the mountain road, but she was too tired from practicing with Xia Xiao, so she fell asleep leaning against a pine tree by the road. But when she woke up, she was in an unfamiliar environment. Everything around her seemed fake, which made her a little scared. It was like she was suddenly sent here, not like she was dreaming about the academy.

During this process, there was no panic in her bright eyes. Her face was calm, but her mind was full of random thoughts, falling from the Cloud Country into the abyss of the sea. When her eyelids, which had been blinking at a high frequency, completely closed and her long eyelashes folded together, Ah Zhu fell asleep like a koala hugging a tree.

After Xia Xiao finished a whole night of exploration and exceeded the goal he set for himself, he picked up Azhu without any guilt and entered the warm underground world in the rising and falling earth.

The soil rose, and the grass and thorns grew, leaving no trace. Xia Xiao covered Ah Zhu with his clothes, twisted his neck that was about to break, and began to make seals to recover from his bad condition.

Such days were very boring, but Xia Xiao could still adapt to them. He would set goals for himself, so he could get through any difficult environment. But Ah Zhu suffered because he had nothing to do except practice every day. Although this matter was very complicated, Xia Xiao's debt to Ah Zhu would never diminish.

When there was only one wilted cucumber left in the hut, Xia Xiao would go to the town in the first half of the night to find some food. He usually went alone, but after going there many times, Ah Zhu became curious and clung to him and even hugged his thighs, begging him to go with him.

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Xia Xiao took her with him. Ah Zhu showed the momentum of doing a big job, but to put it bluntly, this job was just stealing, so there was no need to make such a big show.

With Azhu along, Xia Xiao's movements would be slower, but there was also an advantage, which was that their aura would be completely concealed. In this small town on the edge of the valley where there were not many practitioners, they could deceive everyone after hiding their aura.

If they didn't fly, the road to the town would be six kilometers long. Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu held hands and walked through the dark forest that seemed to have scary ghosts.

To suit the occasion, Xia Xiao told Ah Zhu a story, which made the already not-so-dignant atmosphere become as relaxing as a walk at night, even as fluffy and sweet as cotton candy.
